How Creative Software AutoUpdate Works
Creative Software AutoUpdate is an intelligent software upgrade mechanism designed to make software updates for your Creative products easy and efficient. This is just one of the ways for us to ensure that you always get maximum performance for your Creative products.
Its AutoDetect Module assess existing installations of Creative products and software on your PC in real time and determines whether your PC contains the latest software versions for all your Creative products you use with that machine. Once it detects that updates are required, it will provide you with a listing of essential, critical and recommended updates that you need to download and install on your PC.
Creative AutoUpdate uses a small downloadable module of 300KB. This module is an ActiveX control that once downloaded runs this specific task. It will not self-activate in the future unless you initiate Creative Software AutoUpdate program, in which case the same file can be used again without having to redownload it. If you wish you can delete the file once the AutoUpdate process is complete. Simply locate the program file Creative Software AutoUpdate from the IE Browser-Internet Options-Settings-View Objects and delete it.
To protect your privacy, Creative Software Web AutoUpdate does not capture personal information. Only system and Creative product information are detected during the system inspection/analysis stage. And none of this information will be used by Creative for any other purpose.
